Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  Thank you all for your kind words and support. But now I must apologize for losing my cool. I am way too old to require complements or validation. And intelligent enough to not be concerned with superfluous ratings. However, after over a year and a half of being an administrator and making sure that every day this game was taken care of and levels approved or evaluated, I felt that I had been disrespected. And that was what really irritated me. I know it is not required but I would hope that I have earned a little.
The only complaint I've ever had about bad ratings is that if a player feels the need to rate a level at a 1 or a 2, then they should have the guts to leave a message and say why.
Again I apologize my tirade, and as far as I'm concerned it will be business as usual.

  I fully agree with TM, he has said everything I wasn't able to say because of my limited english skills. I have appreciated all of your latest levels (still trying to get a better score) and rated them 5/5. Please don't give up and ignore these low ratings coming probably from an unexperienced player.

  I would like to know it too. I counterrated it. :p As I'm lucky to have a huge rating power. I hope you'll still make awesome levels!

On the bright side, I am making another puzzle game for BL! It combines both aspects of blockoban and blockoban 2! And I am thinking that a few of you could volunteer to test it. If you are interested, you can pm me.

  Them be immature small lads that don't like levels they can't beat, hater's gonna hate.
(If you do not understand, young people rate a level low if they can't complete it, that makes them rage and turn against the creator. (basicly the mentality of "If you can't make levels I can beat, I'll rate them badly") Not really much you can do against, but usually they have a bad rating power so they're not really weighting down ratings.)

  I too would like know who, why, you consistantly have great levels. Is there no way as an administor to access that information? I have seen other peoples levels get bad ratings because certain people can't solve them or don't like the style.
I took so long typing that I did not see TM's comment till after sending mine. !00% 5/5 agree.
In my opinion, one old adage I was brought up on applies to ratings as well. "If you don't have anything good to say then don't say anything." So don't rate it unless you like it. If there is something really awful. Address it nicely, constructive critisism. Poor ratings given without prior communication or feedback are useless. They defeat the purpose of rating in the first place.
OMG, don't let whoever that is diminish all that you acheived within this game nor diminish how much you are loved and appreciated.

  I have long gotten over the rating issue buddy, cause i really couldn't understand low rating when there was no comment. I have found another way to measure players' liking and that's the number of plays a level has received. Although a bad rating may distort reality I think the number of plays gives a better idea if it is liked or not. Your levels have been played several times and as far as I am concerned I am a big fan of yours and I trully bow to your designing skills. It goes without saying (with whatever good rating power I have) that almost all of your levels have received a 5/5 because they all fulfil my criteria (symmetricity, challenge, fun, difficulty, tricks, optimization and neat designs). My point is try to ignore low rating and please (i sort of beg you) continue your excellent work on both designing and assisting (administration) aspects of the game. you are too precious for the community to just give up based on some (very limited) unjustified bad reviews. Most of us (and i hope i speak on behalf of the majority of the site) depend on your support and frankly we need and count on it to improve the game and take it to another level. I am sure it was not your intention to hunt for compliments but every once in a while it is good to pay (and receive) the respects to those who deserve it.

  Woah? Are you serious, or is this a hacker. I haven't rated any levels except the ones I comment on and have solved, or I get the general idea. I didn't actually see your levels OMG, I will have a look at them.

  Just a general question as to why my latest levels received such crappy ratings? The worst of any recently submitted levels. Are they that bad or is somebody pissed off at me? Either way it would be nice to know why. Because I spend a lot of donated free time trying to keep this part of the site as up-to-date, and as positive as possible. If the efforts are unappreciated then I will reevaluate to see if it's worth my time.

  If you look on the previous page you can see my message:

  BTW Manufan, where to fill in the code...?

  Ha, another levelflood of mine!

  Indeed! OMG, have a good day, and to all the other Americans here! :)
